The federal government expects to attract up to $ 2 trillion in investments bringing data centers from large technology companies, such as Amazon and Nvidia, to Brazil. This one of the ideas of the National Plan of Data Centers, prepared by the Lula administration.
It will be up to the current Finance Minister Fernando Haddad to present this proposal to representatives of US companies this week on a business trip to the United States. The information is from Tilt, UOL.

Sources heard by the site indicate that the proposal is to show executives a development project of the sector anchored in an ecological transformation plan.
Initially, the big techs that chose to build data centers in Brazil would enter a special tax regime, still being debated. In return, companies will have to comply with certain requirements in terms of sustainability, as well as all of the computational power for the domestic market.
The expectation of the federal government is that the project can attract up to $ 2 trillion over ten years.
Advantages and disadvantages of Brazil in technology
Although it has a rather favorable geographical position and a large supply of renewable and clean energy, the country still bumps into a number of problems to evolve its data centers. Among them, highlighting the high tax burden, which can be 45% higher than in other countries.

To reverse this framework, the National Data Centers plan provides for an exclusive tax benefit regime, baptized so far as a “wording”, which would exempt federal taxes such as PIS/COFINS and IPI for at least five years.
The expectation is that, in the return of Fernando Haddad to Brazil, the “writer” enter the agenda in the National Congress in the form of provisional measure. The regulation would be a later debate, still with no date to happen.
